Why players love itThings to know
71% of themes are praise29% are divided0% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
It provides enough narrative motivation to keep the adventure moving without sacrificing the playful tone.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
The stereophonic soundtrack similarly gives the presentation more character without conflicting with the deliberately old-fashioned visuals.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
13 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
It gives the adventure a distinctive personality that would be difficult to reproduce with a purely point-and-click interface.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
I was instantly transported to my childhood of Space Quest and King's Quest, and the developer here has merged those old text-directed game mechanics (far more fun than point-and-click, imo) with some more modern graces like auto-saves and word suggestions.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
The credits tune was quite catchy and most of the sound effects consisted of slithering around as a snail.
